Voltage Vigilance: Ensuring Balance and curbing Theft in Power Distribution Networks
Abstract: This project proposes a system for detecting electrical overload and earth faults using an Arduino Uno controller. The system uses a current sensor to identify overloads and a voltage sensor to detect earth faults. An ESP8266 module allows users to switch between the two fault detection modes. When an overload is detected, the Arduino turns off AC bulbs using a relay and sends an alert message via a GSM module. …
